Driving Position Comfortability Design of a Low Aerodynamic Drag Energy Saving Car

Article Preview

Abstract:

The current Jilin University’s energy-saving car has two problems.Firstly,long time driving let the driver get a pain in the neck,which is uncomfortable. Secondly,the low overheight of the carbody result in a bad vision. This paper try to show how we solve these problems. In order to ease the neck pain and better the vision, the driving space should be increased,which may result in the grow of aerodynamic drag.That’s not welcome. So as to realize the relative balance between driving comfort and aerodynamic drag of energy-saving car. Our group consider the relationship between these two factors, make a wooden model to get the feedback about the actual feeling and calculate the aerodynamic drag by using analysis softwares. Finally,we got a better design plan which satisfied both the aerodynamic drag and driving comfort. The new design plan not only bring energy-saving car’s driving more comfortable,but let us accumulate lots of design experience of energy-saving car.
